Jurisfemme

Jurisfemme était un bulletin bilingue que l’Association nationale Femmes et Droit a publié trimestriellement jusqu’en 2007. Sa production se faisait par le biais du bureau national et ses thèmes variaient d’année en année. Les articles rédigés avaient pour but de susciter la discussion et ne reflétaient pas toujours exactement les politiques de l’ANFD.
